What did you do to / for your E53 today??

It's a neat product.

I took a different route that solves that same issue:

I have a similar jump pack, but I forget to charge it every month

Mine will hold a charge six or more but I charge more often because i use it to chage and hold my iphone.

I installed a phone holder like you would use on a dashboard on the jump pack and use it on job sites to have phone hands free in a good viewing position.

I finished the vanos rebuild on Friday. It is a lot better. But I still have that little hesitation up a hill sometimes. I unplugged the maf sensor and it runs perfect. So ordered a maf, Bremi. I found out that if you unplug the maf, the car doesn't let you use the accelerator if you're also touching the brake. Weird

Yesterday I removed the original shocks and springs front and rear. The AI bot kept telling me I needed to use spring compressors on the rear which I thought was nuts. I was able to remove the upper wishbone and get it out with my foot on the brake rotor and a big pry bar on the spring. The eibach springs are about 2 in shorter so should be a lot easier from here.

I'm going to put the front back together tonight. The rear I discovered that three of the lower control arm bushings are bad. So now I'm having a hard time figuring out the scope of what to do there. The rear diff and rear subframe on this car were in the bottom of the ocean. I bought a nice subframe a while ago maybe it's time to do everything.

Also what is up with the hardware costs. $10 for a lousy m12 nut. Every nut and bolt is $20 now.

Drove 90mi after cleaning the IAC, no more fuel trim codes! (for now).

But the cruise control disengaged with no warning lights. Pulled these codes:

75 Brake-light switch, line
78 Plausibility, accelerator and brake pedals

Brake light switch? Is that somewhere in the pedal box? (traveling and don't have the Bentley book handy).

Switch is hit by the arm of the brake pedal

Have fun, I'll stick to having my sunroof sealed with PPF, thank you!

Lost the 2 rear tires from the spike trap at work...

The spikes folded down, but the edges of the spike trap were bent exposing the plate steel end and cutting the rears.... On the inner sidewall.

FML!!!
